Topping now?
happygrassanswered grow question 5y ago
Usually safe to start topping after the 3rd to 4th node.

I would have topped by now from the looks of it. I usually top once the plant gets around 5 nodes. If they have been happy and healthy, they will probably recover quickly. As long as you are in veg, you can usually top whenever.
